February 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day: Karrablast and Shelmet Featured

Get ready for an exciting Pokémon Go Community Day featuring Karrablast and Shelmet on Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time. During this event, you'll have a higher chance of encountering these Pokémon in the wild, and if luck is on your side, you might even spot their Shiny forms. As with all Community Days, you can expect the usual bonuses and additional research tasks to enhance your gameplay experience.

By catching enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the event, you'll have the opportunity to evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor, respectively. These evolutions will come with exclusive charged attacks: Escavalier will learn Razor Shell, boasting 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 in gyms and raids, while Accelgor will gain Energy Ball, with a consistent 90 power across all battles.

For $2 or the equivalent in your local currency, you can purchase a Community Day Special Research ticket. This ticket offers exclusive rewards, including encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet against a unique Dual Destiny-themed Special Background. Additionally, the ticket includes extra encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL, making it a valuable addition to your event experience.

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to those who log in during the event. This quest offers another chance to encounter Karrablast and Shelmet, with an increased chance of finding their Shiny versions. And for some extra perks, you can redeem Pokémon Go codes for additional freebies!

Throughout the three-hour event window, you'll benefit from several bonuses. Earn triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with an enhanced chance for Trainers level 31 and above to receive Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and you'll enjoy trading benefits, including one additional Special Trade and a 50% reduction in Stardust costs.

Engage with Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases, which offer another way to participate and showcase your Pokémon.

To prepare for the event, take advantage of the two Community Day bundles available in the in-game shop, as well as the Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store, available starting February 3rd.
